Reply to comment by SteefD_NL in TIL Sting is credited with co-writing the Dire Strait's hit song 'Money For Nothing' without writing any of the lyrics. It's because of Sting's singing 'I want my MTV' used the melody from The Police's "Don't Stand So Close To Me" triggered a copyright credit. by shaka_sulu

Yep. They wanted someone who sounded like sting to sing that part. And an engineer said, you know sting is staying next door
